GA: Chapter 70 – Creatures from Another World? The Hades of Overman?

He glanced at the puzzled Huoyou beside him and laughed softly.

"Just treat it as me rambling. Don't take any of it to heart."

"Oh—alright."

Huoyou nodded at that, then placed the pills she'd already prepared on Bai Xuan's desk, along with some processed mutant beast meat, and said with obvious excitement:

"The pills you don't even need to look at—same as before."

"But this meat is different. It came from a mutant sea serpent we found by chance. Incredibly powerful when it was alive—if Qin Tian hadn't stepped in, the others might not have been able to bring it down."

"If we hadn't caught it when we did, it might have eventually evolved into a flood dragon."

"Its meat is so much better than ordinary mutant beast meat. Fresh and sweet."

She paused, and a look of genuine regret crossed her face.

"Even though it had mutated and was quite large, there were too many people to divide it between—so what we each ended up with was very little."

"My portion wasn't even a third of what you got."

She was a little put out, but honestly not that bothered. A lot of the fierce beast meat she'd had before had come from Bai Xuan anyway.

Less of this one was fine. No mutant sea serpent? There were always other things.

Mutant carp, mutant crab, even mutant scallop—all of them delicious beyond compare.

Before Bai Xuan could say anything, Huoyou heard two odd sounds from somewhere nearby.

"Pikachu?"

"Pika piiii~"

Huoyou's eyes went wide.

Two small yellow creatures with two brown stripes on their backs and lightning bolt-shaped tails—looking somewhere between a mouse and a chinchilla—hopped up onto the desk and peered curiously at the pills and mutant beast meat sitting there.

They sniffed at the pills first, then both made unmistakable expressions of disgust. They turned and sniffed the mutant sea serpent meat instead.

"Pikachu~ (≧▽≦)"

Their delight was visible to the naked eye.

The real-world model for Pikachu is actually a squirrel—though most people assume it's a mouse. Squirrels are omnivores and will occasionally eat meat, though nuts are their usual fare.

Pikachu were much the same. Beyond ketchup, they had a particular fondness for sweet-and-sour flavors, and had even been known to sneak a piece or two of sweet and sour pork ribs on occasion.

The ribs in question were made from mutant wild boar, so the quality was exceptional.

Of course, their main diet still consisted of the energy cubes Bai Xuan purchased from Just Like That Meow.

Mutant sea serpent meat, it seemed, was very much to their taste.

"These are…"

Huoyou suppressed every instinct screaming at her to grab these two little bundles of adorable and squeeze them, and turned a curious look toward Bai Xuan.

"Pikachus. Creatures from another world."

After sniffing the serpent meat, one Pikachu leapt into Bai Xuan's lap while the other jumped to his shoulder and nuzzled its cheek against his. Bai Xuan gave them both an affectionate pat and explained to Huoyou with a quiet smile.

"Creatures from another world?"

Huoyou stared at him strangely. Are you serious?

Even if Bai Xuan's ability was terrifying—absurdly, incomprehensibly terrifying—creatures from another world? Surely that had to be a joke?

"Doesn't the art style seem off to you?"

Pikachus were from the Pokémon world—a creature of the two-dimensional realm. Their visual style was naturally entirely distinct from three-dimensional reality.

In theory, the chat group should have corrected for that dimensional discrepancy.

But the two Pikachus Just Like That Meow had sent hadn't converted to a three-dimensional style. Bai Xuan had asked the chat group about it.

The chat group's response: two-dimensional Pikachus are cuter than three-dimensional ones. If Bai Xuan prefers, conversion can be arranged.

Needless to say, Bai Xuan had declined. Two-dimensional Pikachus were perfect as they were, and he had no reason to hide their existence anyway.

"Now that you mention it… you're right, something does seem a bit off. They look almost like something from an anime."

Huoyou tilted her head and studied the Pikachus.

"Your ability actually works on anime and manga?"

"Then the Susanoo last time—was that real too?"

Something clicked, and she looked at him with disbelief.

The offhand thing she'd said was actually true? His ability could actually do that?!

That was beyond ridiculous.

Completely, utterly beyond ridiculous.

Could an ability actually do something like that? Impossible, surely—

"The Pikachus are real. The Susanoo was real."

"But their existence isn't the product of my ability—they come from a greater existence, a different world entirely. By some chance, I was given the opportunity to communicate with people from other worlds. The Mangekyō Sharingan was an unexpected result I hadn't anticipated—and the Pikachus, I commissioned someone else to purchase for me."

Bai Xuan didn't hide it. He didn't even hide the chat group's existence—he simply couldn't describe it more precisely than that.

In the past, he would never have done something like this. No matter how powerful he was, no matter how confident he felt in his strength—he would never have let even a hint of the chat group's existence slip, by any means.

But now, with the shift that had come over his thinking, he had simply lost the inclination to lie.

In the brief span of a human life, all manner of temperaments crowded it—honesty, deception, trust, pretense, righteousness, malice…

Even righteousness and malice, contradictory as they were, could coexist within a single person in ways that defied easy explanation.

The old Bai Xuan had been no different. But now, as his power grew and his thinking continued to change, he had begun to dislike dishonesty—even to feel it beneath him. Whether a well-intentioned lie or a malicious one, it made no difference.

Even if he told Huoyou, and Huoyou passed it to the state—so what?

What could they do with it?

Nothing of consequence. Things would continue as they were. The only result would be that their attitude toward Bai Xuan grew warmer, more respectful.

Huoyou might not know what to make of the change in Bai Xuan—but the people at the state level would recognize it easily enough.

They would see it: Bai Xuan's mind was transcending the human, shifting toward something that could only be called divine.

And a being like that couldn't be bound or controlled through appeals to ideology or reason. Not that they had tried to begin with.

"Does that mean the Naruto world actually exists?"

"And the One Piece world? Overman?"

Bai Xuan answered Huoyou's astonishment with characteristic ease:

"In the Naruto world, the ones who have communicated with me are Uchiha Madara and Minato Namikaze. In the One Piece world, it's Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors."

"Overman hasn't come up yet. It may eventually."

If it were possible, he genuinely hoped the next person to join the group would be Hades from Overman. Hades' philosophy and way of thinking—if he could exchange ideas with him, it might offer something substantial to the part of himself still searching for answers.
